Technical Guidelines
Please send the highest quality/largest size image possible, with a minimum of 300 ppi.
We recommend using a high-quality digital camera (ex. DSLR) and the highest quality setting when you shoot.

Do not distort the image by applying photo filters or effects.

Do not attempt to increase the size of an existing image using filters or software. This will not improve the quality or make it appropriate for printing.

Do pay attention to framing, composition, lighting and focus.

Avoid submitting photos that include corporate logos or artwork. APMSA-related logos and graphics are acceptable.

Do not submit any pictures that contain nudity, violence, obscenity, profanity, illegal activity or anything else that might be considered offensive.
